    :p :devil: You know me so well already...

    She works for the US Antarctic Program and is currently living at Amundsen-Scott - basically, South Pole Station. There are many permanent facilities there, run by many nations.

    North America. Canada, actually.

    Although, sometimes it's so cold it feels like Antarctica :rolleyes:

    Ha, I was taught the 7-continent model. :p

    That's really cool! I know, it's such a bad pun but I couldn't resist. :lol: Anyway, that's so interesting living in a research facility in Antarctica. Does it ever get lonely with the bleak landscape? Kind of reminds me of my cousin who is just about to arrive in Kindu, in the middle of the Congo, as of this moment, to live there whilst she goes through her internship with a London-based NGO. A plane comes in only once a month, I think, and it can get pretty lonely.

    Tell me your address and next winter I will gladly send you some :guffaw: We had so much of it at our store that we had drifts about 12" above the bottom of the window ledge. And the bottom of the window ledge is about 3' above ground.

    Liffy I'm glad you are correcting your country in the listing because I was scratching my head this morning to try and figure when Malaysia moved to Africa. I have finally removed the splinters from my fingers :guffaw:

    LOL. At Pole, you can go as one of the following - a summerover, who stays for an Antarctic Summer; basically in the time of constant daylight where there is fairly regular transport in and out of the base to move supplies in. Or you go for summer and winter as a winterover. Antarctic winter starts when the sun starts to set - which takes about a month. And it lasts until the sun rises again over six months later. During this time, the base is pretty much on its own. Which means you are stuck with the same 60-70 people for that time. Not so much lonely, but trying.

    You're welcome. :)

    Hee. I just got back from Canada at the beginning of last week. It was interesting. Weather wasn't too bad actually - certainly no worse than Wales...

    Thanks for the info. ;) That's really interesting. Haha, I think I'd rather be a summerover, what with the constant daylight. Winterover sounds pretty bleak and lonely. I wonder if they ever get cabin fever.Talk about being stuck in the middle of nowhere. :lol: Kind of reminds me of The Shining! :guffaw:

    Page 2?!?! :eek:

    Ok I think that I added everyone new to the list and you are all listed in the right place...however all this talk of continents etc screwed my 'world map brain' up today so if there are any mistakes (which I'm sure there will be) don't hesitate to point out and laugh at my ridicules grasp of the geography :D.....and before you say anything Soph- yes I know i'm meant to be bright :lol: but the 'ld brain doesn't seem to be working today!
